Program Overview

Come volunteer in Finland, one of the largest countries in Europe. Volunteers here find meaning through learning from Finland’s complex culture and sharing ideas. Finland is a unique volunteer abroad destination. While the country is one of the most-developed economic countries in the world (estimated as ranking 42nd overall in GDP in 2022), there are still important areas where volunteers are needed.

Volunteering in Finland is a unique opportunity to experience a new culture, gain a global perspective, and build life-long relationships. United Planet Quest participants here find meaning through learning from Finland’s complex culture and sharing ideas.

Programs in Finland are available for either six months or one year, in the areas of education and social work.
